<p>[QUOTE=&quot;longnine009, post: 3930703, member: 1886&quot;]Charlies Playboy Club. Brass, C/A, 2.1 grams, 18mm, same both sides, VN2970b attributed to Company C1 5th Special Forces (Green Berets), Camp McBride at Marble Mountain. Marble Mountain is better known as the home of 1st MAW or 1st Marine Air Wing.</p><p>From the first time I looked at it until even now it didn&#039;t and doesn&#039;t feel right. It looks too good. And Charlie was the nick name for the Viet Cong or VC or Victor-Charlie then shortened to just Charlie.</p><p><br /></p><p>The C/O had to approve club names. So an Army Captain did not question this? Did not ask why not call your club C1&#039;s Playboy Club? They had another token issue: C-1 5th.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only thing I can think of is that it&#039;s some variation&nbsp; on a word simile intended to mock the Viet Cong?&nbsp; But even that just doesn&#039;t seem too likely.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I bid the minimum, $5.50, and won. Really? No one wanted a near perfect token attributed to the Green Berets and Marble Mountain?</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope it&#039;s real but I still think it&#039;s a fantasy.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1036006[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
